Chapter 858: Chapter 857: Ambush!

Lin Zheng’s brows had been tightly furrowed all this time, but when he heard Lin Fan’s final words, they finally eased up a little.

He looked around, his gaze shifting as his divine sense swept across the area, but he couldn’t find any trace of Su Han, only the lingering remnants of Su Han’s aura.

As for a corpse or anything of the sort, he didn’t see that either.

Alive, there was no body; dead, there was no corpse.

Lin Fan was a Dragon Emperor Realm expert. Though considered weak within that realm, his divine sense remained at the level of the Dragon Emperor Realm.

When his divine sense swept over, it could cover a thousand miles in an instant–no matter how fast Su Han was, he couldn’t escape the tracking of Lin Fan’s divine sense.

Yet after searching for a long time, Lin Fan still couldn’t find Su Han. Ultimately, he determined that under the bombardment he and his brother had unleashed earlier, Su Han… had truly perished.

At this realization, Lin Zheng immediately grew excited, even though Yi Leng and Xu Huo, along with several others not far away, were still glaring at them with furious expressions–they didn’t care!

“You two worthless bastards!”

Yi Leng stomped forward, heading directly toward Lin Zheng and Lin Fan, and coldly snorted, “Are both of you blind? Didn’t you see that the disciples of my Divine Transformation Pavilion were standing right there?”

Indeed, Yi Leng was angry. First, because disciples of the Divine Transformation Pavilion had been killed; second, because those disciples had been slain under his very nose, under his protection; and third… because Su Han, the troublemaker, had dragged this calamity onto them!

At this level, none of them were fools. How could they fail to see that Su Han had done this on purpose?

Clearly, they had followed him for entertainment all this time, and Su Han had grown resentful long ago. Yi Leng’s previous angry rebuke had finally lit the fuse.

Even if Su Han had to die, he would drag the disciples of the Divine Transformation Pavilion, the Sect of Peace, and other forces down with him as a burial offering!

Unable to find Su Han at the moment, Yi Leng and the others naturally vented their rage on Lin Zheng and Lin Fan.

However, though Yi Leng approached, he didn’t strike, merely shouting furiously–he was obviously somewhat wary.

This wariness was apparent to Lin Zheng and his brother, as well. Lin Zheng sneered and said, “Gentlemen, don’t get so worked up. We’re all Dragon Emperor Realm experts here–it serves no purpose.”

“You two dare to call yourselves Dragon Emperor Realm?” Xu Huo snorted coldly.

“Not qualified, are we?”

Lin Fan, with his fiery temper, immediately shot back, “If we’re truly unqualified, then why couldn’t you protect the disciples of your own sect earlier?”

“You bastard!”

Xu Huo’s eyes widened with rage, his fury intensifying, though he tried hard to suppress it, clearly unwilling to fight.

“First of all, you shouldn’t have brought them along just to watch the show. If I were Su Baliu, I might’ve done the same. In fact, I might’ve gone even further!”

Lin Zheng said, “Use your brains–facing death and still being hounded like a ghost for others’ amusement, who wouldn’t feel anger?”

“Secondly, the main target of us Five Great Super Sects today is to kill Su Baliu. You should have been aware of this, and since you were, you should have kept your distance. Considering the methods of us Five Great Super Sects, casualties in situations like these are common.”

Hearing Lin Zheng drag the Five Great Super Sects into the discussion while emphasizing it heavily, Yi Leng and Xu Huo’s expressions turned even darker.

And indeed, what they feared most was this alliance of the Five Great Super Sects.

“We won’t press the matter today, but in the future, you must give us an explanation!”

Yi Leng and Xu Huo snorted coldly, clearly unwilling to linger here. If they stayed too long, more disciples might end up dead.

The two immediately turned to leave.

But at that moment, a thunderous dragon’s roar suddenly reverberated through the air.

The sound was so loud it caused everyone, including Yi Leng and Xu Huo, to feel their ears buzz, and even an ache tingled in their senses.

As the first roar rang out, the second, third, fourth… all the way to the tenth roar sounded almost simultaneously.

The roaring impacted the disciples from various sects who had accompanied them–faces pale, many coughed up fresh blood. Lin Zheng and Lin Fan, meanwhile, turned pale, dizziness overtaking them, as if the world were spinning uncontrollably around them.

Only warriors at Yi Leng and Xu Huo’s level managed to stay conscious, though even they felt the overwhelming urge to vomit.

Under this sensation, Yi Leng and Xu Huo’s expressions also changed.

“This is… a dragon’s roar?”

Any Dragon Emperor Realm expert present couldn’t help but show alarm, lifting their gazes toward the void.

However, as their eyes scanned the area, they still couldn’t pinpoint where the dragon’s roar was coming from.

While they searched, a tear suddenly ripped through the space beside Lin Fan, and from the rift surged forth a transparent snow-white dragon!

Lin Fan’s face instantly turned pale, leaving him no time to react–not even the ability to process what was happening!

The snow-white dragon emerged far too abruptly, without the slightest warning. Its body wasn’t large, only about two meters in length.

As it appeared, its form transformed into a snow-white cord, instantly binding Lin Fan’s figure!

In the moment it bound him, the cultivation base within Lin Fan’s body seemed to be drained by the snow-white dragon, precipitously plummeting–from Dragon Emperor Realm, swiftly down to Dragon God Realm Peak, then to Later Stage, Mid-Stage, Early Stage…

At the same time, as the snow-white dragon wrapped him, a black, earth-shattering sword light suddenly emerged from the rift!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye: the dragon had appeared, restrained Lin Fan, the sword light had appeared, Lin Fan’s expression had changed–everything transpired in an instant.

It wasn’t the snow-white dragon that dismayed Lin Fan; it was the earth-shattering sword light that he alone could sense behind it!

“Brother, save me!!!”

In this instant, Lin Fan had no time to say anything excessive, only managing to call out to Lin Zheng for help.

Simultaneously, Lin Fan and Lin Zheng finally realized: Su Han wasn’t dead. Instead, he had found a way to hide–or perhaps… he had been concealed within the space by a powerful warrior!

Seizing the opportunity as Lin Fan and Lin Zheng were caught off guard, Su Han struck ruthlessly!

“Su Baliu, how dare you!!!”

Lin Zheng’s pupils constricted, rage surging, as he immediately propelled himself toward Lin Fan.

Yi Leng and Xu Huo, having witnessed everything, spun around in shock. Their faces turned grim in an instant.

Su Han killing Dragon God Realm, Pseudo-Emperor Realm–their concern hadn’t been over that. Such feats weren’t particularly abnormal; they simply followed him for the entertainment.

But if he were to kill a Dragon Emperor Realm expert… his status on the Dragon Martial Continent would change drastically!

“Get lost!!!”

As this realization dawned on them, Lin Zheng’s urgent cries echoed throughout heaven and earth.
